I have taken the liberty of going through the poem and creating links to those words I thought might present difficulty for readers. For some of these words I have already provided definitions.
How to Add to the Sing-a-Long Glossary
To create definition pages for other words I have already linked, simply click on the linked word. You will navigate to a page like the one in the image below. From the drop box, choose "Glossary" to create a glossary page and then hit the edit button (not pictured, it will be to the far right of the "notify me" tab below).
This will open a new page that will hold your definition of the word. A lot of the hard work has already been done for you--all you need to do is provide a definition. The place for that is where the "[DO NOT ALTER ANYTHING EXCEPT THIS. WORD DEFINITION GOES HERE ]" text appears. Simply replace that and leave the rest of the page alone. The code instructions on how to create a glossary entry at the top will be replaced by the word used to link to the definition. The space below the definition will list each page that links to the definition (so, for instance, if the word "Trill" appears several times in the poem, each occurrence of "Trill" will be listed there.

When finished, save your page and check your work. Thanks for helping to build our sing-a-long!
